The Life And Times Of Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston is a biographical book that tells the story of Lucy Goodale Thurston, the wife of Rev. Asa Thurston, who was a pioneer missionary to the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawaii). The book is written by Lucy herself and covers her life from childhood to her missionary work in Hawaii.Lucy grew up in Massachusetts and was educated at the Ipswich Female Seminary. In 1819, she married Asa Thurston and they set out for Hawaii as part of the first group of American missionaries to the islands. Lucy’s account of their journey and early years in Hawaii provide a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and rewards of missionary life in the early 19th century.The book also explores the cultural and political landscape of Hawaii during this time, including the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and the establishment of a republic. Lucy was deeply involved in the missionary work, helping to establish schools and churches, and working to improve the lives of the Hawaiian people.Throughout the book, Lucy’s strong faith and dedication to her work shine through, making this an inspiring and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Hawaii or the role of missionaries in the spread of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
